Today's integrated designs need an oscilloscope that is just as integrated - such as the MDO3000 Mixed Domain OscilloscopeMDO3000 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope (MDO) Series. It is the ultimate 6-in-1 integrated oscilloscope that includes an integrated spectrum analyzer, arbitrary function generator, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, and digital voltmeter/counter. The MDO3000 is completely customizable and fully upgradeable. Add the instruments and performance you need now - or later.
Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test this particular product.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the product.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
Tektronix needed to source some items so that the scope would work out of the box in the destinations abroad; this has been sorted out this week and we fully expect the units to be in the hands of the testers shortly.
Coming up on a month since the scopes were awarded and nothing has happened here, no info if the scopes were received, if the winners have started testing or if they even really care to carry through. I guess the beauty of a Level 1/2 account is its easy to burn and open a new one so you are never really banned from Road Tests.
I am thoroughly familiar with Tek scopes and AFG's as I have been using their scopes for 20 years and their AFG's for 10yrs, not so much with their Spectrum Analyzers (mostly using Agilent here for that), I have been procrastinating learning/using their spectrum analyzers until the the MDO4000 had a little more time on the street, but this is the perfect opportunity to do so. I already have plenty of my own ideas for reviewing one of these scopes, but my primary question is since this review is really for all of you, what would *YOU* like to see reviewed clarified in terms of features and capability? Is there anything that you feel is unclear in their datasheets/sell sheets that you would like to see clarified? (ie: Hey Brian, how does the serial decode time compare with the MSO4000 series?, or Can you explain current vs voltage probe deskewing?, etc). I'll take the top questions and answer them in my review.

Thank you to all who applied; Tektronix will be considering all the applications over the next few days and selecting the successful testers. As soon as they have done so, we'll make an announcement. …
Michael - that's right, just a review in this instance as it isn't a "RoadTest Plus" - however we'll look favourably on additional information provided: and who can say what seeds for the future will be…
Very nice device. I felt the urge to apply when I saw the Road Test, but I wouldn't be able to do it justice, nor would I ever make use of its full potential.
I feel this one is for the professionals…
